A weekly Twitter chat for motion designers

Last night on #mochat, Ryan Summers (Imaginary Forces) was kind enough to come out and answer your questions, and giveaway a term of FXPHD—congrats Dino!. The talk ranged from technical (favorite software/plugins) to inspiration and advice.

Some highlighted quotes from Ryan:

Being an artist isn’t a dirty word, and that it means hard work, collaboration, and always sharing what you’ve learned.

There must be a [VFX] union. It’s an embarrassemnt and a black mark on the VFX industry.

On bookings…

Overcommunicate. Be honest. Give yourself a first hold. Try not to double book. Don’t play companies against each other

On starting out…

If you can’t find work right away, make your own. You can always be developing your own brand in the down time.

Protip?

Never stop asking questions. Always stay humble. Always be learning. Take time out when you can.
